After more than a century of history, the radiation-reaction problem in classical electrodynamics still surprises and puzzles new generations of researchers. Here, we revise and explain some of the paradoxical issues that one faces when approaching the problem, mostly associated with regimes of uniform proper acceleration. The answers we provide can be found in the literature and are a synthesis of a large body of research. We only present them in a personal way that may help in their understanding. Besides, after the presentation of the standard answers, we motivate and present a twist to those ideas. The physics of emission of radiation by extended charges (charges with internal structure) might proceed in a surprising oscillating fashion. This hypothetical process could open up new research paths and a new take on the equivalence principle.

We compute the outcomes of close encounters between a binary and a single black holes including the effects of gravitational radiation reaction. All masses of individual black holes are assumed to be 1 M⊙. We found that merger of two black holes takes place during the encounters in some cases. Thus the gravitational radiation can act as a mechanism for the dissipation of energy of a cluster mainly composed of 10 M⊙ black holes which are produced by the evolution of high mass stars. The merger probability depends on many parameters in a complex way. Our preliminary calculations show that about 10% of the strong encounters (i.e., rp ∼ a) between a binary of hardness 100 and a single lead to mergers of two black holes in the stellar system of one-dimensional velocity σ = 100 km/s.
